Mr. Ceesay, I apologise for my tarry. I will now share my review with you to the extent I have verified the answers: 1. How many police stations are there in Gambia? $20.00 Moribolong: Don't have a specific number Sorry...but how about a try: Banjul,Serrekunda, Bakau,bundung,Kairaba, Kotu, Brikama, Banjuling-ding,Sanyang, Kalagi, Sibanor, Kerewan, Barra/essau, Farafenni,mansakonko,Janjanbureh, sare Ngai,basse,fatoto...I am stumped. There are others though. bro ousman ,you also have bakoteh police station on the sukuta road,my inlaws town gunjure,diyabugu,bansang,brikamaba,kuntaur,bulock in foni,buwaim,soma,lamin or banjuliding Final review pending. BOGT: From the submission above and brother Suntou's addition, it would appear your answer is 31, correction 29. I encourage you to figure out if there is only 1 police station in Banjul or not and to inform us if the Bakoteh police station is interchangeable with the one at Kotu. 2. For how long was Rambo kidnapped? $30.00 Moribolong: He was detained for 387 days - winning $30.00 Rambo was kidnapped/abducted for 385 days after the Judge ordered him free on bail initially. However, he was not returned to his family until two days after he was informed he was free unconditionally. Therefore, Rambo was kidnapped for 387 days. 3. What public positions did Rambo hold and what do you think about Rambo as a fellow citizen?$50.00 Moribolong: He was councillor for old Bakau and cape point wards. Personally I think he stood up for what he believed in knowing what that means in a dictatorial system. He has cojones (no offense meant) to sum it up. winning $50.00 4. What is the population of the Gambia National Army currently? $20.00 Moribolong: 1900 men and women. - winning $20.00 My information puts the population at 2,200. This takes into account budgetary military expenditure and what level of military such can support and the existence of parallel but clandestine military units separately managed but rely on National Army budgetary appropriations. By and large your number of 1,900 is acceptable because that is the officially reported and published number at least from one source. Other sources report 900 but that was at a much earlier date. 5. What are the degree programs offered at the University of Gambia? $20.00 No answer. This question is still open for answer. 6. What is the distance between Banjul and Barra? $10.00 Moribolong: 3 miles (4KM) - winning $10.00 My efforts at averaging the distance as presented by 5 cartographers was 4.5 miles. I did see one map that put it at 3 miles and upon speaking with someone at Ports she informed me it was 3. It could very well be 3 nautical miles in which case the figure will be 3.5 land miles. I think a further look will reveal a distance between 4 and 5 miles especially because much of our coastline is gradually being eroded. If the ferry dock were not high enough, it will have to be reconstructed further on higher ground. 7. What is the length of Gambia? $20.00 Moribolong: 300 miles (480KM) - winning $0.00 I have it that Gambia extends approx. 385 miles into Senegal. That figure does not take into consideration the geographic convolutions of Gambia. More importantly that is the length that matters to Senegal and Gambian citizens. We can't stretch Gambia, and if we did, the length could only increase. Again that 385 length is the average of 5 different maps. I did not take the length of either highway because neither extends to the easternmost tip of Gambia beyond Koina. Also if you take the distance by the main roads and feeder roads where the main roads do not reach, the length will be closer to 450 miles. 8. How was Rambo abducted? $20.00 Moribolong: He drove the men who came to arrest him to Bakau police in his own car if I am not mistaken. - winning $15.00 BOGT: Rambo was abducted from his home in Cape Point and indeed he did drive his own car with the abductors in it to the police station. He was later to learn that the abductors had stolen his car. 9. How many salvage-vehicle yards or derelict vehicle dumps are there in Gambia and where are they located? $20.00 No answer. This question is still open for answer. 10.Where is Gambia's currency minted? $20.00 Moribolong: it is minted in the UK by the royal mint. - winning $20.00 BOGT: Indeed. The last minting contract was awarded to the Royal Mint in Wales when the then Central Bank Manager (Junkung Bayo) extorted a 38,000 pounds commission/bribe from an employee of the Royal Mint in order to secure the contract. Moribolong, I encourage you to refine quiz question 1, and I encourage you and our coleagues attempt questions 5 & 9 because I think you could very easily get them. Thank you again for your participation and I look forward to wrapping up on Dec. 9th. Haroun Rashid. MQDT Darbo.
